I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Well, having lived with Yuhaka for a while, Anna knew exactly how Yuhaka thought, so she decided not to dwell on it.

Anna then explained the concept of planetary consciousness to Claire and the others, who were quite surprised after hearing Anna's explanation.

After all, Anna told Claire and the others that the so-called planetary consciousness was something that existed in their world, far exceeding the top beings in their world. Even the five great elven kings were not as powerful as the planetary consciousness Anna described, and even Yuhaka was much stronger than those elven kings.

Hearing Anna's words, Claire and the others stared in disbelief at Yuhaka wagging its tail beside Anna. Clearly, Claire and the others found it hard to believe that this cute little girl with an "OwO" expression was actually a higher being than the Elf King.

"To be honest... it's hard to believe..."

Claire and the others looked at Yuhaka and said this. Anna, who was sitting next to Yuhaka, also nodded. If Zelus hadn't told her, Anna would have found it hard to imagine that Yuhaka was such a powerful being. Anna had thought Yuhaka was some kind of hero back then.

Mira covered her mouth and looked at Yuhaka and the others, saying:

"Unbelievable... Was that the person in my dream last night? But why did they want me to go to Youyou's place?"

Mira and the others were also very puzzled by this.

Chapter 762 [Want to Play Warhammer 2]

Although Mira had these questions, she ultimately chose to follow Yohaka's side.

When Yuhaka heard that Mira was coming to his place, his eyes lit up. He opened the door of his restaurant and saw Yuhaka conjure up a large door out of thin air, which almost made Claire and the others' jaws drop in fright.

"This?! What is this?!"

Claire pointed at the shop door that Yuhaka had summoned, looking shocked, and said this. Yuhaka, who had summoned his shop door, tilted his head and looked at Claire with an expression as if she were an idiot, saying:

"Door, Claire... is she an idiot OwO?"

Claire, who had been called an idiot by Yhaka, looked at Yhaka with a embarrassed expression and said:

"No, of course I know that's a door... I just don't want you to think I'm an idiot..."

“OwO?”

Although Yuhaka didn't quite understand what Claire was saying, he still opened his shop door.

"Welcome... um?"

The moment Yhaka opened the shop door, the dragon god [Black] in Yhaka's house, dressed in a maid outfit, looked at Yhaka with a puzzled expression.

"It's Youyouda OwO!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's voice, Chizu Natsume, who was working in the shop and dressed in a maid outfit, looked at Yuhaka at the door with a somewhat surprised expression and said:

"Huh? Youyou? Have you finished what you were doing in the other worlds?"

Upon hearing Chizu Natsuyo's question, Yuhaka looked at Chizu Natsuyo and the others, shook his head, and said:

No, oh no~

Then, amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Yuhaka stepped aside slightly so that Chizuka and the others could see Mira and the others, and said:

"Youyou brought a new employee here! OwO~"

"???"

.................................................. .................................................

At the restaurant in Yuhaka, Claire and the others chatted with Ji Lin. Besides Mira's arrangements, they were also very curious about Ji Lin and the others.

Ji Lin explained the situation to them, and Claire and the others finally realized that the world they were in was no longer their own. Yuhaka's appearance in their world was also for his own mission.

"Have the Five Great Elf Kings gone mad?!"

Upon hearing this news, Claire and her group looked incredulous. After all, anyone would find it hard to believe that their world's supreme ruler had gone mad.

Fiana covered her mouth, looking at Ji Lin in shock, and said:

"This?! This is unbelievable! If the Elf King had gone mad, all the countries in the world would have suffered all sorts of disasters, but right now everything is normal in all the countries. It is hard to see what is wrong with the fifth generation Elf King, and there is no news from the Divine Ritual Academy about anything unusual about the Elf King."

Claire and the others shared roughly the same opinion as Fiana.

Ji Lin touched Yuhaka's chin, who was lying on his lap, and said:

“But… if Lady Zelus says that’s the case, and still sends Master Youyou out, there will definitely be a difficult situation to handle.”

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Claire and the others also looked a little troubled. Although it wasn't that they didn't believe Yuhaka and the others, after all, what they had experienced had shocked them, the fact that the Elf King had gone mad was hard for them to imagine.

Claire stroked her chin, looking thoughtful, and muttered to herself:

"If that's the case... then we'll know when we meet the Elf King..."

Linslet, who was standing nearby, was also taken aback when she heard Claire's words and said:

"That's right! If we win the Elf Sword Dance Festival, everything will be clear when we meet the Elf King, won't it?!"

Claire and the others also planned to do the same. They would see the Five Elf Kings for themselves and know if it was as Ji Lin had said.

Afterwards, Claire and the others quickly returned to the venue because of the Elf Sword Dance Festival, and Yuhaka also went back with Claire and the others. After saying goodbye to Mira, everyone returned to the Elf Sword Dance Festival venue.

After returning to their base, Claire and the others learned about Yuhaka's identity. To be honest, Yuhaka's identity was a bit hard for them to believe, but Claire and the others didn't care too much about it. After all, who wouldn't associate the animal-like Yuhaka with her unimaginable identity?

Afterwards, Yuhaka and her friends continued their hunt for magic stones. A few days later, after winning third place in this competition, Yuhaka and her friends qualified for the finals of the Spirit Sword Dance Festival.

To celebrate their victory in the Elf Sword Dance Festival, Claire and her friends booked a prestigious coffee shop on the floating island for a party.

"Congratulations to Squad Scarlet for qualifying for the final battle!"

Carol, holding a small confetti cannon, smiled broadly and offered her blessings. Linslet, standing nearby, tossed her long blonde hair and said with a smug look:

"Hmph~ With me around, this is the natural outcome~!"

Carol, standing to the side, clapped her hands and looked at Linslet with a smile, saying:

"Truly befitting a young lady!"

Hearing the conversation between Linslet and Carol, Claire, standing to the side, looked at Linslet with a speechless expression and said:

"I'm telling you... this isn't all your doing, so stop being so smug."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yuhaka was tearing into a roasted chicken leg, completely oblivious to the stares of those around him. Ji Lin, standing nearby, was wiping Yuhaka's mouth with a tissue. Mira, on the other hand, was helping to bring out a kitchen cat from another world to prepare a meal and place it on the table. Esther, standing to the side, was looking at a large bowl of tofu pudding in front of her with a happy expression.

"Tofu~Tofu~"

Clearly, Esther really enjoys tofu, and Linslett's sister, Milley, is also eating the same tofu pudding with a smile on her face, showing that she also really likes this exotic dish.

Chapter 763 [The Announcement of the Decisive Battlefield]

During the celebration banquet, everyone enjoyed the food from the other world, and Claire and the others chatted together.

"According to the report of the promoted Spirit Master teams released today, there are Leora Lancelot leading the Dragon Emperor Knights, Luminaris Saint Reichert leading the Holy Spirit Knights, and Len Ashbell leading the Purgatory Apostles, as well as our Scarlet Squad."

Hearing Claire's words, Lindsaylet shook the glass of juice in her hand and said with a touch of emotion:

"The leader of the Holy Spirit Knights, I remember he's the one who won first place in the last Elf Sword Dance Festival, right?"

Regarding Linslet's question, Alice, who had been watching Ji Lin holding Yuhaka with an envious expression, quickly sat up straight and looked at Claire and the others, saying:

"Yes, that's right, it's that person. But what I didn't expect was that the Elf who was once the first in the Elf Sword Dance Festival only ranked second in this year's Elf Sword Dance Festival. That Apostle of Purgatory is really amazing."

Claire nodded in agreement with Alice and said:

"Yes, that guy named Ren Ashbell is definitely a dark horse. I don't have any information about him. It's like he just appeared out of thin air."

Just then, Esther, who was eating tofu pudding, suddenly paused. Seeing Esther's stunned expression, Fiana, who was standing nearby, looked at Esther curiously and asked:

"What's wrong, Esther?"

Esther shook her head, a little puzzled, and said while eating her tofu pudding:

"Hmm... I feel like the name Ren Ashbell sounds familiar..."

Claire, hearing Esther's words, looked at Esther and asked in confusion:

"Hmm? Esther, do you know that Len Ashbell?"

"Hmm... I don't remember, but I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before."

Upon hearing Esther's words, everyone was puzzled. Esther's words made them feel as if she was saying that Len Ashbell was someone who had lived for a long time.

However, Esther couldn't remember anything, so the others stopped asking about it.

The Four Gods Squad also came to the banquet afterwards. Although they were rivals before, their relationship with Claire had improved slightly after the alliance defeated the witch of the Purgatory Apostle. They brought some dishes in the style of the Kuna Empire for Yuhaka and the others as a gift to celebrate their advancement to the finals.

Yuhaka was somewhat interested in the steamed buns and other dishes that Linfu and the others had brought over, so he tried them. After tasting them, Yuhaka realized that the taste was similar to that of his own world and lost interest.

..................................................................................

After the banquet, everyone went their separate ways to report to their families about the Elf Sword Dance Festival. Fiana did the same, even though she didn't particularly like her family.

Claire's parents were imprisoned due to the incident involving the Calamity Fairy Princess, so they couldn't meet. This allowed Claire and Yuhaka to take a short trip to Yuhaka's world, as Claire was quite curious about what kind of world could produce such a powerful person as Yuhaka.

Afterwards, Yuhaka took Claire to visit the area around Mishiore and the others, and also briefly explored the Monster Hunter World area to check on Yuhaka's food reserves there.

After exploring these worlds, Claire returned to the dormitory prepared for the elf users at the Divine Council to rest.

A day later, Yuhaka and Claire returned to the Great Temple, where a large number of noble spectators had gathered in the main hall.

Claire and the others came here to hear from the priestesses of the Divine Ritual Court about the venue for the next Elf Sword Dance Festival.

Although the competition hasn't started yet, Claire and her friends are starting to get a little nervous under the gaze of so many people. After all, there are only 4 teams left in this competition, so most people are focusing their attention on these 3 teams.

Huh? Why are we only watching 3 teams when there are clearly 4?

Claire and the others noticed that there were only a few familiars at the location of the Purgatory Apostles, indicating that the Purgatory Apostles had not sent anyone to participate in the announcement of the final battle location for the Elf Sword Dance Festival.

Well... there's no rule that participating teams have to come; sending a familiar is just as good.

Just as everyone was discussing why the Purgatory Apostles had only sent familiars, a sudden commotion erupted from the main hall of the High Priestess Temple, followed by a sudden silence. From the doorway deep within the altar, priestesses dressed entirely in white ceremonial attire appeared.

After seeing the priestesses appear, Claire and the others seemed a little tense, except for Yuhaka, who was carefree, chewing on herbivorous dragon jerky with an O~O expression.

Of course, no one paid attention to Yuhaka eating, since everyone's attention was drawn to the priestess at the altar.

The fairy princess, standing in the very center, gently walked to the altar and announced to the people present:

"Now, the Elf King's proclamation is hereby announced: the stage for the decisive battle is—the ancient ruins of Megidor."

Upon hearing the priestess's announcement, everyone present wore expressions of confusion, even the spirit users participating in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival.

Only Yuhaka continued to carefree munch on the herbivorous dragon jerky.

Claire looked puzzled after hearing the priestess's words. The reason was simple: the final stage was a place she had never heard of before.

In the past, the competition stages for the Elf Sword Dance Festival were just a few different ones, but this time the announced stage was a place that had never appeared in the Elf Sword Dance Festival before, which made Claire feel that something was a little off.

Unfortunately, Claire couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. She then asked Fiana, who was standing nearby, hoping that as a former priestess, Fiana might know something. However, Fiana also seemed to know nothing about the ancient ruins called Megidor.
